I woke this morning with "Loud Places" in my head - the most rave-y 'reach for the sky' moment on this swirled together set of dance-ish tracks which does sit somewhere on an xx-ish continuum while overall setting its controls for something more expansively textured. I basically like songs and so I prefer the xx's self-titled and probably Coexist as well to In Colour, but on its own terms it's at least as accomplished as those other two and a plenty enjoyable listen.
